The Musa Consortium is a transnational criminal organization, but it may seem to be several levels higher than the average criminal organization.

Lin Qiu had heard a lot about the organization of hunting wild monsters, and the "Order Sect" himself was the leader in the industry. But the strange thing is that neither the church nor the research institute has developed a good way to control the monsters, otherwise the monster threat would not have become a major problem for the people of Herutia to this day.

Lin Qiu, who was behind the snow mound, rubbed his eyes and made sure that the ice-toothed mammoth really seemed to have lost his mind, and silently followed behind the team of the Musa Consortium.

"Look...... I will say that the Musa consortium is a transnational criminal organization. ”

At this moment, Ella also recovered a little bit and said. It's just that the way the Musa consortium committed crimes seemed to be a little different from what she imagined. In Holutia, the usual unsightly methods of crime were human trafficking, led by the slave owner Bruno (deceased), and murder for hire, and Elisa's teacher Baifeng (deceased) was once a leader in the industry...... But control and enslave monsters?

This charge does not seem to be valid anywhere.

In general, the people of Horutia believe that the monsters are the product of the evil power of Grudia, in other words, you can even smuggle ivory in front of the police.

However, it is clear that the Musa Consortium does not make a living by smuggling monsters and selling ivory, and even if Eric does nothing after taking over the consortium, his ancestors' savings will be enough for him to squander for centuries.

"What should we do!" said Phoenix, eagerly, as a monster, she naturally stood in the monster's position first.

"No, stay here and don't go anywhere. ”

Feeling Phoenix's vicious gaze, Lin Qiu had to explain: "The key is not the means by which they 'committed', but the motive for their 'crime', if we don't figure out the purpose of their pursuit of monsters in the north, we don't even know what crime they have committed." ”

A few hours earlier, Eric had been on the boat trying to convince Lin Qiu that Julius' injuries had nothing to do with the Musa consortium, and Lin Qiu had indeed ruled out their suspicion because he could not think of their motive for attacking Julius. However, the current discovery has brought everything back to square one - if Julius bumps into the people of the Mosa Consortium on his way to challenge the Great Boar King, the latter will have enough motivation to attack him, but for some reason that Lin Qiu has not yet come up with, they did not choose to kill him, but sent Julius back to the imperial capital.

"To be sure, they shouldn't have much interest in reselling ivory, and even an avid enthusiast like Sophia wouldn't spend a lot of money on such an ice-toothed mammoth. ”

Lin Qiu muttered to himself.

"If you don't do anything, they'll be gone!" Phoenix urged anxiously.

"Don't worry, those four high-level knights didn't kill that big guy in the first place, which proves that their hobby should not be to slaughter wild monsters in the north and destroy the balance of the ecological chain in the north, but you should learn more how to communicate with your kind, otherwise I may be able to ...... when I am on the ship."

Lin Qiu's words came to an abrupt end.

"What's wrong?" Phoenix asked impatiently.

"Why can't you communicate with the monsters on the ship?

"Nonsense! The king of humanity wouldn't ask the average citizen how they felt!" Phoenix rolled his eyes.

This is the case with the hierarchy between monsters, high-level monsters don't deliberately estimate the emotions of low-level monsters, and they can't even confirm whether low-level monsters have such advanced things as emotions.

"The analogy is not right, the king of mankind can at least understand the language of ordinary citizens. Ella pointed out Phoenix's logical error.

"Phoenix, when you're still a ...... Uh, when you're a phoenix, how do you express the joy in your heart?"

Phoenix tilted his head and thought for a while but couldn't answer Lin Qiu's question.

If you go back to before the First Demon Tide War, when the two worlds did not overlap, she seemed to ...... There is never any need to express any emotion. And the emotions of joy, anger, and sadness were all learned by her after she came into contact with human society. Earlier, when they were hungry, they went hunting, and when they were full, they roosted in their nests to rest, and most monsters were like this, and there was no emotional support between them, only the relationship between food and predators.

Fledglings will express dependence on adults, but will never have any form of contact with any monsters outside of their own kind. Regardless of the food chain, a chick sees a wild boar in the field, it neither likes nor hates it, although it is in the same field, it is more like living in two worlds.

But on the boat, the tour guide told her that when the female dragon eagle flapped her wings, she expressed her affection for someone.

"I don't know. "Phoenix is a little confused.

But they knew. Lin Qiu stared at the distant backs of the Musa consortium members, and then he asked, "Phoenix, how do you express your joy now?"

"I don't express joy!" Phoenix said proudly.

“...... Well, how do you express your anger, for example, against St. Gosya?"

"Burn her!"

"Why? Do you want to eat Gosya?"

"Of course not, why do you ask? Isn't that what you humans do...... If you don't like someone, you'll try to get rid of them, but it's easier to burn her!"

"So you learned from humans how to eradicate dissidents. ”

"That's it...... Even if so, what does it mean?"

"What if the rules regarding monsters didn't exist from the beginning, but the Musa Consortium controlled the monsters through that drug and made a series of rules?"

Only in this way can the emotions of monsters be as refined as those of humans.

They don't really like or dislike a human, but rather act in the way that people are expected to behave through the instructions of the staff. Therefore, those monsters on the ship will be extremely friendly when they treat guests like Lin Qiu and Alyssa, but they will be hostile when they treat Ella.

It's not that they're by nature, but they're instructed by someone.

"But what's in it for them?" Ella was puzzled. In what she had seen, no one had ever developed a way to control monsters - the people of the Musa Consortium had spent so much effort to formulate a series of detailed rules for different monsters, could it be that it was just because there was too much money and nowhere to spend?

"Of course there are benefits, he wants me to believe ...... It should be said that I want everyone to believe that monsters can really coexist peacefully with humans. ”

"So...... You've gone around in a big circle just to show that the Musa Consortium is an outstanding company that promotes the peaceful coexistence of monsters and humans?" Ella frowned.

"To be precise, the business of the Musa consortium is equivalent to sending a bomb to people's homes and trying to convince them that the bomb is harmless. ”

The remote control of the "bomb" is controlled by the Musa Consortium, and they can make the monsters and humans live in peace, but at certain times, they can also make these monsters no longer want to live in peace with humans.
